Now, the Q is: what do the numbers mean? Seconds? Milliseconds? If it's seconds, the "RAW_VALUE" may explain why all is OK after things have been powered up long enough. If it's ms, I can only thing it is running a self-test. I would have to go read those articles more closely to see what I can determine.
Hi William,
The attribute names (as listed in the "ATTRIBUTE_NAME" column) are described here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-Monitoring%2C_Analysis%2C_and_Reporting_Te...
I went there. It dfidn't tell me the unit of measure though.
The VALUE column contains a normalized value for the attribute, WORST contains the drives lifetime minimum (or maximum value), THRESH contains the drive manufactures failure threshold, and RAW_VALUE contains a 6-byte value that is used to store the attributes raw value. I see that several sectors are marked as unreadable in the logfiles you posted.
OOPS! That's the other guy. I only thought that maybe some of his problems might be related to what you started with, S.M.A.R.T., and I had some synptoms that might also be related to S.M.A.R.T and might be hitting him too.
So I posted my symptoms just to tickle a thought.
What do you see in the column "Reallocated_Sector_Ct?"
Regardless, mine are all zero. My big drive does have about 1400+ ECC corrections, but that on a 100GB drive. So I'm cool with that.
If the SMART attributes check out, <sniip>
Hope this helps,
